3rd California Infantry Regiment

The 3rd California Infantry Regiment was a US Army regiment which was active from 31 August 1861 to 27 July 1866 during the American Civil War and Plains Indian Wars. It was raised by Patrick Edward Connor in Stockton, California, but it never made its way to the East Coast to fight the Confederates, instead being stationed in Utah and fighting against Native Americans. It was mustered out in 1866.
